Spaniards' recent record is very dismal, after entering 2022, this team has not tasted the taste of victory, the Spanish media "World Sports" wrote that the Spaniards have a bad record, mainly because of the team's defensive cliff-like decline, the data illustrates this, in the past 8 rounds of the league, Espanyol lost 18 goals, lost 1-3, also lost 1-4, therefore, the team's record is not good, in fact, and the play of the front-line players has not much to do, and Wu Lei has not scored in the near future, But he shouldn't be carrying the pot because the manager gives him very limited playing time!
In the last round of the league against Athletic Bilbao, Espanyol's performance was disappointing, although Velena scored in the 3rd minute, but in the 5th and 16th minutes, espanyol conceded two consecutive goals, and finally lost 1-2. In fact, Athletic Bilbao did not have many shots on goal, only 7, but the opponent scored 2 goals.
Further ahead, against Betis, espanyol played even worse, especially the defenders, who basically could not defend the opponent's attack, Betis scored 2 goals in the first half, and in the second half, they scored twice in the 53rd minute and 76th minutes, completing a 4-1 sweep, in a single game, Betis shots as high as 15 times, including 8 on target.
Espanyol lost 3-1 to Celta, and the team was largely defenseless, with Mina breaking the deadlock in the 3rd minute and Aspars scoring a goal in the 47th minute. In the 82nd minute, Dennis Suarez scored again, and Celta completed a 3-1 victory, in which they had 12 shots on goal.
According to statistics, the last time Espanyol kept a clean sheet against the match against Real Sociedad on November 28, when the team won 1-0, and since the 0-1 loss to Vallecano, Espanyol conceded a goal, the last 8 rounds of La Liga, this team has conceded 18 goals, it has to be said that the team's backline is very problematic. Unluckily, the Spaniards are likely to concede nine consecutive rounds as their opponent in the next round is Barca.
In fact, espanyol's forward players have performed well, especially Raul de Tomas, who scored 12 goals, ranking second in the top scorer list, behind Benzema, who scored 17 goals. As for Wu Lei, although he did not open in the league, Wu Lei is not a sinner of the team, after all, his playing time is too small, there is no chance to find the rhythm of the game, Wu Lei is naturally difficult to break the goal!
